Coolcations boom puts pressure on cooler destinations
Original: Coolcations: tourism boom is taking a toll on chillier destinations
United Nations University researchers warn that the growing 'coolcations' trend — travellers seeking cooler climates to escape summer heat — is straining destinations once considered off the beaten track. Northern and high-latitude spots are facing overcrowding, rising costs and environmental strain as visitor numbers surge, raising questions about how these regions can manage tourism sustainably.
Why now: Rising global temperatures are shifting holiday patterns toward cooler destinations, prompting fresh concern about overtourism there.
